About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She approaches therapy as a chance to examine life chapters that feel stuck and to build better ways of coping. Heather emphasizes practical steps you can take now, along with space to process difficult experiences.
She brings three years of formal counseling experience and a long background working with community agencies and corrections. That community work exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anger, and challenges after injury or illness. Heather draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms and daily struggles.
In sessions she listens first, then tailors techniques to what each person needs. Conversations are direct and grounded, focusing on skills like emotion regulation, problem solving, and sleep routines when rest is a concern. Heather also uses motivational interviewing strategies to support change and commitment.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues related to trauma and brain injury. Additional areas of focus include caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and concerns connected to aging.
Heather works with people who want clear steps and a respectful, steady approach. Her practice blends practical skill-building with time to tell the story behind the struggle. This combination aims to reduce overwhelm and make daily life feel more manageable.
Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is important, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of hard events or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and sleep. It teaches practical steps and exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and improve routines that support rest.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful for anger, overwhelm, and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process may include testing a few techniques and keeping what helps most.
